Stanford attempts to express and illustrate a vision with alternative mythological figures of inner beauty expressed outwardly in what has been described as a perfect storm of content and intent, reflecting back images of both the beauty and decadence of modern society with a contemporary vision. The distinctive mixed media paintings are meticulously crafted out of Feng Shui elements and materials, displaying a new reverence for beauty. An East meets West energy, where a translation between the material and the intellectual world conjure up powerful symbols of metaphorical sentient beings. Stanford’s use of archival materials reflects the sequence of the five elements - wood gives rise to fire, fire produces earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold creates water, water makes wood. Horses are a favourite of the Artist. This art piece is inspired by the Danube Delta wild Horses of Romani and illustrates the beauty of movement, the embodiment of the free spirit.
